A levels Physics (2015)
Preparing for practical work
To make sure our courses help your students become capable and confident scientists, we’ve put practical work at the heart of our AS and A level Physics specifications. We’ve created many resources to help you and your students with each aspect of practical work – from planning and carrying out the experiments, to honing investigative skills.
Core practicals directory and mapping documents
Our mapping document shows the list of core practicals, matched to the essential skills and techniques in our specifications. The mapping document also shows you our recommendations for which CPAC skills to assess on each core practical.
Worksheets
Teacher, technician and student worksheets detailing the procedure, apparatus and safety instructions for each core practical will be available for you to use.
Resources for developing investigative skills
Our teacher materials for developing investigative skills will support you with integrating practical work and the teaching of investigative skills into your lessons.
We also provide student materials for developing investigative skills that will encourage a deeper understanding of the underlying science behind practicals, guiding students to think independently as scientists and help their preparations for AS and A level assessment.
